Issue/Introduction

Description:

We are upgrading to IMSv12, and have CA DBO utilities and CA Compress for IMS installed.
Can we upgrade CA Compress to R16 and leave the CA DBO tools at R15?
We would like to be sure that the 2 components don't have to be at the sameLevel.

Solution:

In most cases, it is not recommended to mix and match releases of our Tools, but with Compress for IMS R16, and the DBO TOOLS R15, we don't see any problem in doing this.

With Compress for IMS R15, there were 26 modules (not including the 42 SFE modules that support the ISPF functions as follows;

CAIXST3$ CPIIDCFG FDTLOADR IMEXPRES IMSHRINK IMSHRNKI IMSHRNKJ IMSHRNKK IMSHSCPI IMSHSCPJ IMSHSCPK IMSHSCTI IMSHSCTJ
IMSHSCTK IMSHSSCP IMSHSSCT IMSPASS IMSPASSI IMSPASSJ IMSPASSK IMUSHRNK IMUTSHRI IMUTSHRJ IMUTSHRK SHRINK SHRINKCB

Modules in your R15 usermod, not in the R16 CIMTLOAD:

CAIXST3$
CPIIDCFG

Modules in the R16 CIMTLOAD, not in your R15 Usermod,

IMSHRNKL
IMSHSCPL
IMSHSCTL
IMSPASSL
IMUTSHRL

Pull out the first 2 modules, and add the second set of 5.
